100% Cabernet Franc
Deep, ruby, garnet-tinted purple. Opaque and youthful.
Superb bouquet, unmistakably Loire cab franc. Raspberry, wild strawberry, slightly herbaceous with distinct barnyard funk of cattle range, sheep meadow, and grazing field.
Smooth integration of tannin but still very much present. Med plus acidity, dry. Domineering red fruits with some compote like profile, leafy, minty with some sage and thyme.
Another birthday bottle. A surprise package. Very much smack right in the prime drinking window. Only short decanting necessary. I am also quite convinced that this is still on its upward trajectory. 91+
